b. Connect your handheld to the cable for at least three hours for an initial charge.
c. After your handheld is charged, disconnect the handheld from the cable and
follow the steps below.
NOTE
To keep the battery fully charged, we recommend connecting your
handheld to a cable that is connected to a power source whenever you are not
using it.
Step 2: Set up your handheld

Step 5: Perform a HotSync operation
HotSync operations transfer information between your handheld and Palm
Desktop software on your computer. This is called synchronizing your data.
Performing HotSync operations ensures that you always have a backup copy of the
information that you enter on your handheld. You can also use Palm Desktop
software to enter information on your desktop computer, and then transfer the
information to your handheld through a HotSync operation.
To perform a HotSync operation:
1. Connect the HotSync cable to your handheld and your computer.
2. Turn on your handheld.
3. Tap the Star icon to begin the HotSync operation.
See “HotSync problems” in Appendix B if you experience problems performing a
HotSync operation.
